There always seems to be a great debate on buyer broker agreements. Do you provide a buyer's consultation? If not you should! Why would you make the assumption that a buyer knows every step of the process. Even if they say they do...often times they do not! Funny thing, we never do this to a real estate seller and on many occasions buyers get shortchanged and we wonder why

When you buy things on eBay, you pay the seller before they send you anything. This means that you, as a buyer, are vulnerable to all sorts of problems. You might not get the items you have paid for, or they might be damaged or faulty. Luckily, you have two very important rights when you buy on eBay.The Right to Receive Your Item.Maybe the seller never sent the item, or maybe it got lost in the post. Whatever happened, you paid for the item. If it doesn't arrive in the post as described, you have the right to a replacement or a refund, whether it's the seller's fault or not.The fact that you bought something on eBay doesn't mean that you don't have the exact same rights that you would have if you bought it in a shop (these rights are pretty much the same all over the world).

Know the difference between a buyer's agent, a listing agent, intermediary and dual agency. Buyers share personal information -- Don't discuss any confidential information about your housing preferences, financial situation or negotiating strategies until you understand agency (and have chosen an agent to represent you). Buyers underestimate the effect of a competing offer -- When a seller has multiple offers, he's in a better position than you are. Many buyers don't put in their best o
